Why you should use DT

Immersion

This is the first phase of the Design Thinking process, in which the project team approaches the context of the problem from different points of view.

In this phase, the objective is to generate innovative ideas for creating solutions. This stage takes advantage of tools such as brainstorming and co-creation workshops.

Ideation

Analysis and Synthesis

Stage of analysis and organization of the collected information. Discovering patterns and challenges that help in understanding the problem.

Prototyping

It's time to get your ideas off the paper. Prototyping helps to validate generated ideas and test them in a real-world context.

Design Thinking

Tools

The book is divided into the 4 phases of Design Thinking. They are:

Cultural Probes

Collect data with minimal interference. Based on collaborative sessions, this tool maps the expectations that support users' decision-making.

........

Generative sessions

Meetings held with consumers and stakeholders to extract useful information and the context surrounding it. Provide a “feelings” map that would otherwise not be verbalized in interviews.

........

Interviews

Allows for direct contact between users and the project team. Through dialogue, the technician extracts information, in addition to evaluating the reactions of the interviewees to the topics on the agenda.

........

Personas

They are fictional characters created to generate and validate ideas. The tool summarizes user behavior around profiles observed during field research.

........

Insight cards

Records of the main research insights from immersion. Cards are created for easy reference, and each one contains an insight, source, and other relevant data.

........

Affinity diagram

It is the grouping of insight cards into categories based on affinity, similarity, dependence or proximity, making it easier to visualize the macro areas worked on.

........

Paper prototype

Prototypes created on paper at varying fidelity levels. It could be a hand-drawn wireframe outlining the screens of an app or a package with final details.

........

Staging

Improvised simulation of a situation, which can represent interaction or a simple dialogue to enact aspects of a service. The technique is used to test service-based solutions.
